Thanks for the replies!

Snovvman-what did you end up doing for touch up paint? I have a decent sized chip I need to cover on my door.

Has anyone upgraded the sway bar bushings and/or end links on OEM sway bars? I’ve done this on several vehicles as it is a low cost upgrade to slightly improve handling. In the past I’ve used Energy Suspension parts to replace the OEM rubber bushings with polyurethane. And the end links...

I’m in Edmonton and on a drive around the city on the 27th the car was cold on auto so I turned it to manual. It blew cold air. Went back to auto and it was better but still not hot enough for what I thought it should be. Put the car back in the garage we don’t keep heated-stays about 0 C when...

I was hoping you’d get some former mustang owners to chime in. My dual motor rides like a dream compared to my F body but that’s no help. Just buy one. You’ll be happy.

Year of your mustang would help a lot for camparison of the ride. Acceleration wise, a P will blow the doors off of most production cars so no worries there. But you probably already know that. :)

I don’t have a link because I ordered it in the app but here are the details: WJM Matt Long Carbon Fiber Trunk Spoiler for Tesla Model 3 Trunk Lip Spoiler Wing Rear Spoiler Lip Kit Exterior Rear Spoiler Kit for Tesla Model 3 2017 2018 2019. (Matte) It fit my 2020 and I have to admit to a...

I bought one from Amazon. Carbon fibre and was less than $200 Canadian. Looks really close to oem but a bit bigger.

I thought I would follow up with a post on the trunk and frunk pad kit I ordered from RPM Tesla - It sucks. Fit is mediocre for both pieces. There is a large gap in the trunk pad which likely allows noise to transmit through. I reviewed my problems with RPM and they’ve advised once i removed the...

In for the replies/discussion

Most items were covered above and since there’s no need to grease the muffler bearings all you really need to do is change the blinker fluid. Then it’s back to happy 0 emission driving!

Nice work.

Thanks...I clearly misunderstood. I thought the post was to say Gurujeff03 had a cheaper version. My bad.

Link please.

Do you have a link for this one? The amazon one I bought seems bigger. I’d love some updates too. I have one sitting on the counter in my garage but I can’t commit to installing it because I don’t think I’ll like the look. I’ve put in on the car with masking tape several time’s though. (Wife...

Looks really good. In for more replies.

Ive taken to waving to fellow Tesla owners not knowing if it was a thing or not. I get a waive back most of the time but there aren’t may Teslas here. I came from owning a corvette where owners would hunt you down for not waving and it’s nice to be part of a group like that again.

I don’t expect much sound deadening from the frunk pad but I’m adding that and a liner/mat more for aesthetics. I think it’s ridiculous the car doesn’t look finished from the factory. I am expecting more from the trunk pad though. Who knows because I certainly won’t be doing any scientific...

Sarcasm hey? I get it.

Thanks for the post. I just ordered a set. I did a quick search and couldn’t find anything for drunk alone. I did read these pads are great for cabin noise reduction so I’m excited to get both in the car.

No first hand experience but pearls are hard to colour match. Normally they would blend the adjoining panels so that the repaint looks better / is not noticeable. I just had a dent PDR’d instead of fixing the panel on my truck (that also has white pearl) to avoid blending to the other panels.

Thanks for this solution. An old guy like me needs my sports talk radio and without AM, I wasn’t sure how to do that. Gotta hear about my Oilers 365 days a year

The one I got off amazon was $209 Canadian. Carbon fibre. The tape will need to be redone at some point as it came with a 3m knock off tape but it looks good and is really close to oem as best I can tell. This was a no brainer for the price.

You’ve done a heck of a job researching all aspects of your purchase. I just bought a LR and absolutely love it. It won’t see the track. One thing I can say about every car I’ve owned-I never wished any of them were slower or had less power. I’ll be adding AB to this LR before summer ends...

Focher, twiglett - thank you for the replies! Makes sense that the car can’t tell if the door is open or closed. I know I would use the homelink if the car had it. Not sure it’s worth $400 for me right now. cheers on the great discussion TMC!

I wasn’t sure about this so could you please confirm-if I have homelink, will the garage door open when I get close to my house and close when I leave the area?

We just bought our first used M3 and went with a 2020 over a stealth 2018 for the warranty. And about a third less km. I think the rule for used car purchases is the same, buy the newest, lowest km car you can afford. transfer on the private same was easy!!

I have the app but it’s painful to use. I’d rather just use the clicker so I think that’s what I’ll do for now. I like the idea of hiding and attaching it with velro or double sided tape.

So no reason to hope Wi-Fi materializes I guess :( thanks

Hi there. We’ve had our new to us 2020 M3 for a week and I went to program my garage door opener to realize the 2020s don’t have homelink. My opener is newer and has Wi-Fi. Elon tweeted a year ago that Wi-Fi enablement was coming. My question to the forum is do I hold out and wish for Elon to...

Thanks!! I got the local GM dealership to do that twice. Couldn’t make a deal with them so I bought a newer one privately. Love this M3!!

Thank you!

Welcome. But I think you meant to make a post instead of replying to mine :) Either way, there is a lot of good info here!

Total time price is important. New and used rates are fairly close and there won’t be much of a difference in cost of interest for the amount we are financing. My head says buy the 2020 My heart says performance stealth. for once in my life I think I’ll let my head prevail but I’ll let TMC know...

Thanks for your many warnings of buyer beware. It will stick with me through this process. Maybe one day $10k won’t be a lot of money to me but I doubt it. My family’s personal philosophy is to not purchase new vehicles and Tesla website has no used M3s near me- or maybe at all? A new LR AWD...

Thanks for the continued discussion. A used 2020 will save me about $10-12k when I consider a second set of wheels and paint protection and not paying taxes. I understand documents from Tesla are less than reliable, but per the sticker, there is$39k option for LR AWD Performace and the seller...

Sroy. thanks for the help! Awd is must for me personally in Edmonton. Should have been clear. I spoke with Tesla and have an email stating features on a used Tesla stay on it when it transfers owners. The email specifically referenced FSD though. here is the sticker for the 2018. What do you...

Hi! Great info and thanks. what is “AB”? I searched the acronym thread and can’t find it. the reason I’m having a tough time deciding between these two cars is because the price is going to work out to be about the same. I’m in Alberta Canada so AWD is a must and there are only about 6 cars...

Hello. I’ve been reading a lot and learning a lot and we are ready to buy a used Model 3. I have a couple of options and wanted to hear what the forum thinks. These cars are going to be very close in price. 1. 2020 M3 long range dual motor. 11k miles 2. 2018 M3 Performance stealth with EAP...

Thank you

Thanks!

thanks for the info...and it light of the fact that I'm new and will need some posts, here's one :)

Hello from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada! I've been a car guy my whole life but the wife is sick of us having three vehicles. She is an accountant who hates vehicles because they are a "depreciating asset". The only vehicle we can agree on is a Tesla because I like to go fast and she likes the...
